Two different partially inelastic collisions occur between two masses. The only difference is that in the first collision the coefficient of restitution is 0.30 and in the second collision the coefficient of restitution is 0.50. Briefly explain how the masses would behave differently after the collision. Make specific reference to the coefficient of restitution in your response.
A 3.6 kg block moving with a velocity of +4.3 m/s makes an elastic collision with a stationary block of mass 2.5 kg. (a) Use conservation of momentum and the fact that the relative speed of recession equals the relative speed of approach to find the velocity of each block after the collision. I'm having a hard time calculating using the cinservation of momentum, please explain steps.

help please. If a 1467 kg car, moving at 9 m/s north, hits and sticks to a 2237 kg truck, moving at 10 m/s south, and they travel off together at the same speed, find that speed. Hint: here the masses are moving in opposite directions, so the velocities should have opposite signs. Call North positive and South negative. Use the "hit and stick" or inelastic formula Also, a positive answer would indicate motion to the north and a negative answer would show southward motion - leave positive/negative in your answer.
In the figure on right, block 1 of mass m₁ moves a frictionless floor as shown with an initial speed of V₁i 5.00 m/s.

Under many conditions, the center of mass of a system of particles can represent the system as a whole. But how far does this rule extend? Consider two identical particles traveling toward each other at the same speed. By examining this system, choose the correct response. 1)The momentum and kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 2)The kinetic energy, but not the momentum, of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 3)Neither the momentum nor the kinetic energy of the center of mass is equivalent to that of the system of particles. 4)The momentum, but not the kinetic energy, of the center of mass, is equivalent to that of the system of particles.
Two blocks are released from rest on either side of a frictionless half-pipe (see the Figure below). Block B is less massive than block A. The height HB from which block B is released is less than HA, the height from which block A is released. The blocks collide elastically on the flat section. HA B HB 1) After the collision, which is correct? Block A rises to a height greater than HA and block B rises to a height less than HB. Block A rises to a height less than HA and block B rises to a height greater than HB. Block A rises to height HA and block B rises to height HB. Block A rises to height HB and block B rises to height HA. The heights to which the blocks rise depends on where along the flat section they collide. Submit
A car of mass 735 kg traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1,480 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection.

Now let's consider the impulse associated with kicking a soccer ball (Figure 1). The ball has mass 0.40 kg . Initially it moves horizontally to the left at 20 m/s, but then it is kicked and given a velocity with magnitude 30 m/s and direction φ=45∘ upward and to the right. Find the impulse of the force and the average force on the ball, assuming a collision time Δt=0.010s a) Suppose the ball is moving at 30 ∘ downward from the horizontal before it is kicked. If all the numerical values are the same as before, find the magnitude of the average force on the ball. b)Find the direction of the average force on the ball found in Part A.
